Climate AI Nordics

Nordic network for collaborations around tackling climate change using AI and machine learning.

Climate AI Nordics in Computer Sweden on how AI can help save the climate

Olof Mogren, co-founder of Climate AI Nordics was interviewed in Computer Sweden. “When it comes to climate change, we have to work broadly both with mitigation techniques and by adapting to the effects we are already seeing. AI can be a tool to support these efforts”, he says.

The article (computersweden.se) mentions Climate AI Nordics, the new network for research on AI for climate change related applications in the Nordic countries.

Some speakers in the first quarter include Amal Nammouchi on leveraging large language models and deep reinforcement learning for trustworthy decision-making in energy management. Abdulhakim Abdi on the use of AI and Earth observation data to monitor ecosystems amid the biodiversity crisis. Atakan Aral on AI-driven environmental monitoring systems, and Sherrie Wang on AI applications in sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation. María J. Molina on AI's potential to predict extreme weather and inform climate strategies. Together uniting diverse perspectives on AI-driven climate solutions.

Leveraging AI for Climate Resilience in Africa: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Need for Collaboration

Event date:

Webinar with Amal Nammouchi, Karlstad University and AfriClimate AI. As climate change issues become more pressing, their impact in Africa calls for urgent, innovative solutions tailored to the continent’s unique challenges. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a critical and valuable tool for climate change adaptation and mitigation, its effectiveness and potential are contingent upon overcoming significant challenges such as data scarcity, infrastructure gaps, and limited local AI development. This talk explores the role of AI in climate change adaptation and mitigation in Africa. It advocates for a collaborative approach to build capacity, develop open-source data repositories, and create context-aware, robust AI-driven climate solutions that are culturally and contextually relevant.

Featured Paper: ONEKANA: Modelling Thermal Inequalities in African Cities

Published:

The new Climate AI Nordics Featured Paper is "ONEKANA: Modelling Thermal Inequalities in African Cities" by Sabine Vanhuysse and colleagues. This research addresses the pressing issue of thermal disparities in rapidly urbanizing African cities, where vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected by extreme heat due to environmental and socioeconomic factors.
